Gravure ink testing fineness Gauge

The gravure ink fineness gauge determines particle size distribution by scraping an ink sample on a calibrated plate and observing the positions of particle residues. It is used to control ink uniformity, prevent issues like streaks or plate clogging during printing, and is applied in quality inspection during the production of gravure printing inks.
Selection
The selection of a gravure ink fineness gauge should match the ink type. Use a range of 0–25 μm for metallic inks and 0–50 μm for regular inks. Consider the wear resistance of stainless steel, with clear and easy-to-read scales and a flat, scratch-free surface. Determine whether a single-groove or double-groove structure is needed based on routine testing requirements.

The use of gravure proofing machines in the comprehensive evaluation of gravure ink printability and drying performance.
This article explores how a gravure proofing press can be used to comprehensively evaluate the printability and drying properties of gravure inks. The experiment tested the dot sharpness, transfer rate, and leveling properties of different inks using standard equipment, while recording drying times through the filter paper method and infrared temperature measurement.
Selection of laboratory grinders is based on the fineness requirements of coatings, choosing between ball mills or sand mills.
The selection of a laboratory grinder should be based on the fineness requirements of the coating. A fineness greater than 50 microns indicates coarse dispersion, 10 to 50 microns is considered medium fineness, and less than 10 microns requires high fineness dispersion.

How to Match the Selection of Fineness Gauge with Grinding Process Requirements
The fineness gauge is used to measure the particle dispersion of materials such as slurries and coatings, reflecting the particle size distribution through the depth of grooves on its surface.
Operating Specifications and Result Interpretation of Paint Fineness Gauges
The fineness gauge is used to measure the dispersion of particles in paint. During operation, the sample should be applied to the groove under standard conditions, and a scraper is used to spread it evenly to form a wet film. The particle visibility is then observed under appropriate lighting, and the fineness value is read from the corresponding scale.
Blue-style grinder achieves efficient grinding of ink fineness.
The basket mill is a type of wet grinding equipment used in fine chemical fields such as ink production. It utilizes a high-speed rotating impeller to drive grinding media, generating shear and impact forces on the slurry, thereby dispersing pigment particles and reducing their fineness.

Scraper Fineness Gauge for Determining the Fineness of Paste Inks
The Scraper Fineness Gauge is used to measure the dispersion degree of pigment particles in products such as paste inks. Its principle involves scraping a film on a scraper plate with wedge-shaped grooves and observing the scale at which particles appear to assess the fineness, with the result expressed in micrometers.
An article tells you how to choose a fineness gauge.
This article introduces how to select and use a grind gauge. It is a tool for measuring particle size in coatings and inks. When selecting one, the first step is to choose the appropriate range based on the estimated fineness of the sample (commonly 0-50 µm or 0-100 µm).
